I have been cross stitching since I was little. I remeber learning when I was about 6, with big, fat plastic needles, wool, and big plastic re-usable 'grids' that were like giant aida.
I moved to quilting after getting a bit tired of doing samplers in cross stitch whenever friends had their babies, plus I was short on time, as two friends had babies at the same time. The first one got a cross stitch sampler, the second one got a baby quilt!
I have a cross stitch 'WIP' in my drawer that I pick up occasionaly, but it is big one, harder than the baby ones I used to do. I also have a set of three cat cross stitch pictures, have done two, will get round to the third, one of these days :roll:
